- Intact - Our purpose is to end non-therapeutic male
infant circumcision. Intact works to this end through increased
public awareness, legislation, and litigation. Intact also seeks
to have male infant circumcision internationally recognized as a
human rights violation. Intact makes a distinction between
"circumcision" and the various practices involving ritual or
religious cutting, and is not involved in the debate surrounding
religious practices, including ritual or religious cutting.

- Jews Against Circumcision. Educated and enlightened
Jews realize that the barbaric, primitive, torturous, and
mutilating practice of circumcision has no place in modern
Judaism. Rabbi Moses Maimonides himself acknowledged that
circumcision is done to desensitize the penis and curb
masturbation. Jews are some of the smartest people in the world,
smart enough to understand that mutilating a little boys' penis is
not an acceptable practice in modern times. Gillian Flato, 142 N.
